Tommi and Kakjira i found the extra card, it had gotten tucked in with my stack of envelopes. But... if it is okay with you I am going to send it to a little boy in the US who is blind and collects cards and postcards from all over the world. I will still send you two a hand made Christmas card.
I hope that is ok.

Oh this is fun! I received a spooky card from So Cali. Thank you Tommi and Kajira

laruss · 10-12-2013, 01:42 PM

amiyesiam · 10-12-2013, 06:28 PM

I got my card from unique and tommi/tommi's kaijira

Both are wonderful!

ahk · 10-15-2013, 03:17 PM

I received cards from Gemme, Katniss, and Laruss. Thank you!!

PoeticSilence · 10-15-2013, 04:10 PM

I'd like to suggest that every time we have a project, that we include some innocent third party. We would have a researcher who goes out and finds a kid with cancer, a mother who lost her son in Iraq, a father who lost his job, a teacher/band class whose children didn't win the first place in band, a social worker that made a difference... and let's all include them in our project. I haven't been able to edge into the projects yet, but I do this from time to time on my own. Why not do it as a collective group? It will only be one more person and some of us are disabled and have more time to look these things up using the internet.

candy_coated_bitch · 10-15-2013, 04:13 PM

I just wanted to say I still plan on doing a project! Since no one else spoke up and said they wanted to go next--well I will wrangle next.

I'm not going to post a lot of details until after Halloween, just because I think it might get confusing to start sign ups while everyone's thanking people for lots of cards. (Which is great!) But I prefer simple LOL.

So, on November 1st, officially after Halloween, I will post the full details. But just to start thinking ahead a little--we will be doing INCHIES!!! Which are basically like Artist Trading Cards using a 1 X 1 inch square and are really fun.

Sis:

I haven't been able to get to the post office yet -- I plan on going Thursday. The one its delivered to is just a pain in arse to get to. But I will let you know-- I promise.

Gemme · 10-15-2013, 05:03 PM

Got cards from Katniss and Tommi and hys beautiful lady.

PoeticSilence · 10-15-2013, 09:00 PM

This is me sharing:

Do you like to make your letters/cards envelopes just a little more special than ordinary?

Do you sometimes organize your stamps to match cards? (like bday stamps for bday cards)

Do you feel sometimes that because you are creative, you don't mind spending a little extra to go that one step further to make something?

Then this is for you: http://www.zazzle.com/gay+stamps?st=price&sd=asc

I haven't had to use them for large projects yet. You can make your own special stamps via the post office (see their site for instructions) Or you can use one these people have made. Sure they cost more because of the special printing, but its the cost of a coffee isn't it.

Thanks Gemme, and everyone...I must let y'all know.

My beautiful lady made all the cards by herself....I just got to sign them

amiyesiam · 10-16-2013, 10:39 AM

Yesterday I got cards from Larruss, Gemme, Ahk and they are are lovely and hanging up!
Mine will go out Friday.

laruss · 10-17-2013, 01:04 PM

Katniss, for my Halloween card. The dots behind the pumpkin head made me laugh because they look like sticky outy ears.

Also to let you know that last week I sent the found Halloween card off to the blind boy who collects cards and postcards from around the world. Thank you Tommi and Kajira for sharing a card to make this happen. Although in truth I would have made him one anyway, but it all worked out. lol

Katniss · 10-17-2013, 10:21 PM

Wow! Wow!Wow!Wow!

Just received my "Mentor Moments" packet in the mail this evening! What was enclosed was truly amazing, creative and much of the advice oh so timely! Opening all the little envelopes and tissue paper made it seem like the holidays! Since I seem the first to post about it I don't want to ruin anything by saying what the items were....but will hint at cards, photos, quilting (!!!), and stained glass-esque items!!!! I am planning on creating a framed collage of several of them to hang in my office. It is obvious so much thought and care went in to each submission. Thanks to ALL of you for participating, and Pixie for the awesome idea!.

Katniss~~

Bèsame* · 10-17-2013, 10:27 PM

Wow wow wow! I sooooo agree. I got my mentor package! It was fun opening each thing up. I'm amazed with the talent and creativity among us! I'm so glad I found this thread.

Not only did I enjoy planning and making my project, the anticipation of what everyone else did was amazing.

Thank you for letting me be a part.
Thank you Pixie, your efforts are appreciated.

Leigh · 10-17-2013, 11:04 PM
